    This document discusses different types of computer memories. It describes primary memory, which includes RAM and ROM that can be directly accessed by the processor. RAM is volatile and used for temporary storage, while ROM is non-volatile and used for permanent storage. Specific types of RAM include DRAM and SRAM, with SRAM using 6 transistors per bit. ROM types include PROM, EPROM, and EEPROM, with EEPROM allowing electrical erasure of data. Secondary memory includes hard disks and optical disks for long-term storage of programs and data.

    “ Types of memories ”

    # MANAV SHARMA
    Types of memories :-
    1] Primary memory.

    2] secondary memory.
    Primary memory
     All those types of computer memories that
    are directly accessed by the processor using
    data bus are called primary memory
     Primary memory is also known as
    main memory or may also called as
    Internal memory
    Type of primary memory
     RAM (Random access memory).

     ROM (Read only memory).


    RAM (Random access memory)
     The Word “RAM” stands for “random access
    memory” the read and write memory of a
    computer is called RAM. The user can write
    information into RAM. The user enters his
    program and data into RAM. It is a temporal
    storage memory. RAM is volatile that only retains
    all the data as long as the computer powered. It is
    the fastest type of memory.
    Types of RAM
     Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM): It is
    another form of RAM used as Main Memory, it
    retains information in transistors for a short period (a
    few milliseconds) even though the computer powered.
    The Data is Refreshed Periodically to maintain in it.

     Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) : It uses


    more transistors as compared to DRAM. It is faster
    compared to DRAM due to the latching arrangement,
    and they use 6 transistors per data bit as compared to
    DRAM, which uses one transistor per bit.
    ROM (Read only memory)
     ROM is the long-term internal memory. ROM is
    “Non-Volatile Memory” the information stored
    in it is not lost even if the power supply goes off.
    It is used for permanent storage of information.
    ROM is an essential chip with permanently
    written data or programs. ROMs are much
    cheaper as compared to RAMs when produced
    in large volume.
    Types of ROM
    # PROM(Programmable Read Only Memory): PROM stands for
    programmable ROM. Its content can be decided by the user. The
    user can store permanent programs, data or any other kind of
    information in PROM. Data can not be erased.

    # EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory): This


    memory type retains its contents until it exposed to intense ultraviolet
    light that clears its content. EPROM are used to stored programs
    which are permanent but need updating. The research or any
    program which on development stage and need update at a regular
    interval of time.
    # EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read
    Only Memory): EEPROM can erased data much faster than
    EPROM by first electrical waves in a millisecond. A single
    byte of a data or the entire contents of device can be erased
    Secondary memory
     Secondary memory is where programs and
    data are kept on a long-term basis.
     Any work or project that has to be save for
    long term only be saved in secondary
    memory devices.
     Common secondary storage devices are
    the hard disk and optical disks.
    Types of secondary memory
     Hard disk -
    ^ The hard disk has enormous storage
    capacity compared to main memory. The
    hard disk is usually contained inside the
    case of a computer.

     CD (compact disk).
     DVD (digital versatile disk).
    Q- How many transistors SRAM used per data
    bit?

    A) 2 B) 4

    C) 6 D) 8
    Q- How the data in EEPROM be erased ?

    A) By electrical waves
    B) By intense ultra-violet light
    C) By mechanical waves
    D) By radio waves
    Q- Which memory is used for long term basis?

    1) Primary memory

    2) Secondary memory
    Q- Which ROM erase data much faster?

    1) PROM

    2) EPROM

    3) EEPROM
